The first week post-surgery sets the tone for recovery. Our 5 non-negotiables: • Hydrate • Nourish your body • Rest • Introduce gentle movement • Consider post-operative lymphatic drainage Lymphatic drainage supports the body by encouraging excess fluid and metabolic waste to move away from the surgical site and back into the circulatory system, helping to manage swelling, discomfort and congestion during healing. When recovery is supported properly, outcomes improve. This is why post-operative lymphatic care is becoming an essential part of modern aftercare protocols. #lymphaticdrainage #postop #postoperativecare #thelymphclinic #surgery - @thelymphclinic
